The potential impacts of drought on communities is clearly visible in the dropping reservoir level at Lake Meade and Lake Powell in the Colorado River basin. We work with municipalities to identify and forecast the magnitude and severity of droughts from a water system perspective.

Irrigation for agriculture is supplied by surface water and groundwater sources, both of which are impacted by drought through different mechanisms. Drought may motivate the leasing of water, sale of cattle, or decision on whether to plant for the season. We provide geospatial solutions to analyze drought impacts while considering future climate change.

Increased temperatures present our urban population centers with unique challenges. Infrastructure decisions made by previous generations need to be reevaluated and updated to mitigate the effects of climate change. Lynker Intel can help identify problem areas such as heat islands to improve public health and quality of life.
